New Client - WeedMaps - Louis Armstrong Caricature

Yesterday I delivered the first of many commissioned pieces to my newest client, WeedMaps. Above is a screen capture of yesterdays post by marijuana.com of Louis Armstrong.

Weedmaps is an online legal marijuana community that allows users to review and discuss cannabis strains and local dispensaries. The website is similar to Yelp and contains a database with over 3,000 medical marijuana dispensaries and 25,000 strains of cannabis. The company was launched in July 2008 by Justin Hartfield and Keith Hoerling. The site attracts approximately Two Million monthly visitors and has annual revenue of $18 million. Weedmaps is widely considered the industry leader and premier medical marijuana site on the web, catering to the entire industry from patients to businesses and continues to see substantial growth.

The majority of the commissions will be seen on their sister company marijuana.com. If you haven't seen their YouTube Channel, WeedMapsTV you should check it out. I'll be doing several pieces for WeedMaps as well as working with them on social media and SEO. WeedMaps will be flying me to California to do an interview and demo on their show next month. Great bunch of people. I look forward to working with them. Should have some fun stuff come out of this venture. Stay tuned!
